Can someone start a GD FOR JIC FLT-A2 COILOVER SYSTEM?

If someone can offer a GD for these, that would be awesome! My only requirements are, they should be Brand New with Warranty and I should be able to pay with a credit card. Anyone else looking for these?

I think $1400 - $1500 is fair to expect for a GD... You can put me down if you can get someone to offer these at this price.

start a deal on the A1's!! They are cheaper and the only difference between them and the A1's is that the A1's don't have camber plates. If you get an alignment..you'll be fine..

A1's!!!!!!!!

if you are going to pay over a grand for suspension, why not opt for built in camber... FLT-A2's would be only full on jic's i'd buy, at a good price.

Kenji, that's exactly what I feel. If I am spending over a grand, I would go with A2's.

I'm coming up with something like $1540 shipped. Not 100% though. I'm going through their buy-in requirements...

I just sent in the fax the other day, so I am awaiting for the account to be setup.

good price...ill let you know soon.

PS..for everyone else. I have ground control coilovers and i am pretty damn LOW. I dont have camber and my tires are still good after a year and a half. Camber isnt needed as badly for ours cars when compared to hondas..etc. The A1's plus an alignment will be fine. TRUST ME!!! or you can spend 1500...its your money...

Hey Kevin, you still have not responded to any of my PMs... did you get the mag that I sent you or what? You still owe me some moolah for that, buddy... it's been almost 2 months! ;-)

As for this GD, I've been waiting for a deal on the A2s for a while... go big or go home! The A1 sounds good but I don't totally believe that the only difference is the camber plates... correct me if I'm wrong.

It would need to be the JIC FLT-A2 for me. Zero interest at all in the FLT-A1, particularly since it's A33 only on the site, and I would need an A32 fit...

Unique specs between the FLT-A1 and FLT-A2:
FLT-A1: 5-setting damping adjustment.
FLT-A2: 15-setting damping adjustment. Monotube damper (40mm or 45mm vs. the much smaller one on the FLT-A1).

JIC-Magic's site seems to say that both have camber adjustment... so FLT-A1's might not be bad, but they're only for the A33 on the site...?

can you give a run down on the difference between the A1's and A2"s or whatever BRIANW stated pretty much covers it.

Just for some info, JIC doesnt allow Groub Buys. I'd be careful big h, I've inquired with them about this before and they got mad, this was even after the buy in.

Plus the A1 is a twintube damper while the A2 is monotube. Still the A1 is very comparable in price to the Tein SS (which is twintube) and better in every way, in my opinion.

The FLT-A1US is only out for the A33 chassis, and has a list price of 1180. JIC was having a tough time competing with other companies since their suspension is pretty expensive. So this lower price alternative is trying to pick up the market of those who want serious suspension at a great price.

so besides being able to drop low as *****, and adjust, how would u say the ride quality is? i have sprints with kyb's, not the best ride but looks the best. Will these feel like stock w/ handling of sprints? and are these springs/shock combo?

i want pricing form both BigH and JBL85, please include the shipping to Lahaina, Hawaii 96761. I think US postal would the cheapest way to go.

Thanks guys,

No that would be a bad idea...JIC is really strict about this sort of stuff...i'm going to email JBL85 about setting a price, and maybe he can take care of the Americans and I can take care of the Canadians. JBL85...you wanna do a co-op gb? you up for that?

Good idea. I know shipping from Canada to US or US to Canada costs a lot and not to mention customs duty tax etc.
